The Michigan-bound Burk, who threw a personal best and Group 2 record 209-11 earlier this month, entered the final round leading the pack with a 205-1 that he achieved on his second throw of the day after reaching 199-5 on his first attempt.

While Burk entered the event having thrown more than 11 feet more than the nearest qualifier, his goal was to finish first and also make a run at the meet record of 213-2 set by Kaleb Zuidema of Midland Park last year.

"I would have loved to have broken the record, obviously," Burk said. "But you do what you can do. I came here with a different outlook because this is about beating everyone else and not necessarily myself. But I did what I came here to do and that's it."

Burk was never threatened and he entered the final round nearly 17 feet ahead of the runner-up, McLean Lipschutz of Robbinsville, who threw 188-2.

The triumph capped a strong finish to the season for Burk, who has thrown over 200 feet in his last five major meets.

"Towards the end pf the season, things fell together for me," Burk said. "But whatever it took to win is what I did today. I got a couple of throws over 200 and I'm very satisfied."
